      JWH moved back to the bench with Napa starting.

        Interesting. Maubs and Radley starting on the pine would usually mean we might struggle once our starting forwards are subbed off, but JWH and Tet Offensive counter this. Moreover, the Knights bench doesn't look overly big either, with Buhrer and Lamb being carried as reserves.

          Is 6.30pm a really unusual starting time for a Sunday match?

              Not at all when you consider it’s Round 3 and the third time after 3 rounds that a match will be played on Sunday night 630pm.

                It's been a feature of the early rounds for the last couple of seasons to avoid playing in the heat. The time will shift back to 2pm in round 5.

                  Thanks for that. Makes sense after last weekend.

                    I live overseas and mostly only watch Roosters matches. You might consider a position in marketing with the NRL.

                          Napa! I prefer this lineup, where he and JWH are kept apart regardless of who starts, it seems better balanced, and I will be amused no end if Napa goes on the burst again. Unleash the beast Cronky!

                            There is no way Matterson should get a starting spot over Zane Tetavano.Zane is a better footballer imo.

                              Andrew Johns is one of our coaching staff - he can at least wear a club shirt with a collar for the occasion. I spotted him last week in the members wearing a squalid tee contrary to the members dress code.
